Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Mostly posted this for the picture of trump looking "old and quite weird".

The meeting at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence was requested by Netanyahu, sources familiar with the planning told CNN. It comes on the heels of the prime minister’s address to Congress and meetings with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House. Harris, now the presumptive Democratic nominee, conveyed a forcefulness on civilian suffering and ending the war following her time with the prime minister.

Oh, look, another law that will never be enforced:

18 U.S.C. § 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments.

Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

Just add it to the list of trumps crimes.

Maybe the right prosecutor just needs a little nudge

Both fat old bitches trying to cling to power to keep their asses out of jail.

JD Vance is a weird fucker too. He wants your mom's, your wives, and your daughters menstrual data sent to his desk every day.

That's some weird ass shit right there.

Should I just send a bag of used tampons?

I'm not in the habit of saving them. But there are three menstruating women in the house, so what I lack in aging I can make up for in quantity. I just need his address.

Kidding. I'm certain it would be illegal as fuck.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

"Kidding" 😉

That would actually be a hilarious form of protest. I don't know where his campaign headquarters are, but his DC Senate office address is:

288 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510

For any women who would like to donate their used feminine hygiene products to the cause

[–] MagicShel@programming.dev 6 points 3 months ago

I don't know the exact laws, but it would probably be considered a biological attack on a US Senator, and I can't imagine what kind of trouble someone would get into. On the offhand chance anyone takes this seriously, don't.

Remember that in 2016 and 2020 elections, Ol Bibi gave Israeli intelligence on the democratic party to Trump

Two right wing shitheads had a chat.

The orange rapist is looking a little pale. And old. And gross. And stupid.

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Must have been hard to clean up all the cumstains after that.

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Netanyahu is trying to get some promises out of him to start throwing money at his campaign.

[–] DynoNoob@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Good thing we have the Logan Act to protect us from this sort of treasonous villainy.

[–] finley@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

And a majority of the Supreme Court, who has no interest in seeing it enforced

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Old racists sharing their favorite slurs.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Did he switch from a blond toupee to a white toupee?

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

...what a pair of f*cking losers...

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

They both want power in order to stay out of jail and avoid prosecution altogether.

[–] Pistcow@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Well, that's all you need to know.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

What in the serious fuck is going on with all this quid pro quo Trump is getting away with?? It is straight illegal to promise stuff the way he does. The most corrupt politician ever coming to "drain the swamp". You can't make this shit up.
